During these trying times, it’s not all that surprising if your mental health has taken a hit. After all, it’s hard — and, on some days, downright impossible — to keep a smile on your face when it’s bad news after bad news.

Of course, this is perfectly natural with the state of the world and perfectly human. But, it’s also an issue that needs addressing. Otherwise, it’s going to be detrimental to your health and wellbeing.

For a little help when things get too tough, you might want to give essential oils a try as a complementary treatment. Let’s take a look at how they can help.

How Do They Work?

When used, and especially inhaled, the scent molecules of the essential oils travel from your olfactory nerves to your brain and, most importantly, your amygdala. This is basically a network of brain structures that processes emotions.

Which Essential Oils to Use?

Many essential oils can help with mental health in one way or another. However, some are better than others. Here’s a list of the best essential oils to boost your mental well-being:

Lavender Essential Oil

Soft, calming, and very recognisable, it helps to decrease anxiety, lower stress, and alleviate depression. With its sedative effects, it’s also commonly used to help with sleep issues and insomnia.

Bergamot Essential Oil

The zesty and uplifting oil is often said to help alleviate the symptoms of anxiety. Plus, it’s also believed to help reduce the release of stress hormones during stressful periods.

Jasmine Essential Oil

Research has shown that the stimulating and uplifting effect of the oil affects brain activity and helps to improve mood as well as reduce depression.

Ginger Essential Oil

Used for depression and anxiety, studies have posited that ginger may lessen anxiety and its many symptoms. Plus, it’s believed to help to mitigate stress, too.

Chamomile Essential Oil

Chamomile eases the symptoms of anxiety and depression. Besides that, the oil has also been shown to possibly help to enhance motivation for when you need that extra push.

Sweet orange essential oil

The oil relieves the symptoms of anxiety and depression. It’s also often used to help manage stress.

Grapefruit essential oil

Invigorating and refreshing, grapefruit helps to make you feel more energized and revived. Also commonly used by those in addiction treatment programmes to fight cravings and increase chances of success.

Neroli essential oil

Said to help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, the oil is believed to promote the release of serotonin and reduce cortisol levels.

Frankincense essential oil

Found to stimulate and affect the part of the brain that regulates emotions, frankincense can be used to improve mood, promote relaxation, and alleviate depression.

Sandalwood essential oil

Rich and earthy, sandalwood has long been used for its relaxing and anxiety-relieving properties.

How to Use Essential Oils for Mental Health?

Some common application methods include:

• Direct inhalation
• Via a diffuser
• Added to your bathwater
• Massaged onto the skin
• Rubbed onto the wrists

DIY Essential Oil Recipe for Mental Health

Instead of just using one essential oil, you can also use a blend of different ones. Here’s a DIY blend that you can try to use to help with stress, anxiety, and depression:

• 4 drops of lavender essential oil
• 3 drops of bergamot essential oil
• 2 drops of frankincense essential oil

While essential oils are indispensable in helping to boost and improve mental health, they should be regarded as complementary. Please do seek professional help if and when necessary.

Let’s be real here: a cold is never fun. The runny nose, the nasal congestion, the chills, and the fever — the perfect recipe for a miserable and horrible time, really.

Now, of course, you’ve probably taken some over-the-counter medications to combat these symptoms, and you absolutely should. However, you might find them lacking or not working as fast as you’d hoped.

Well, in that case, you might want to make use of some home remedies — in addition to your medications — to help to fight the cold and the symptoms. Below, we share some of these simple DIY home remedies you can try out when you’re feeling under the weather.

1.  Drink Your Water

If you’re looking for a miracle fluid, water is perhaps the closest thing to it. It helps to thin mucus, reduce congestion, and prevent dehydration.

If you’ve guzzled down too much H2O and are looking for some varieties, you can turn to juices instead. Apart from that, tea with some lemon and honey would also get the job done. In fact, honey has been known to be an effective cough suppressant.

2.  Gargle With Tea Tree Oil

Gargling with tea tree oil can also help to alleviate cold symptoms — especially sore throat. All you have to do is just add a drop of tea tree oil into a glass of warm water. Swish it around and then spit it out.

3.  Make Full Use of Essential

Essential oils have long been used to alleviate cold and its symptoms. Different essential oils would help with different symptoms. For instance:

• Lemon helps to clear the nasal passage.
• Peppermint reduces coughs and throat infections.
• Eucalyptus brings down fevers.
• Cedarwood and frankincense loosen mucus.
• Tea tree oil fights infections.

For maximum effect, inhalation is your best bet. Simply sniff the bottle directly or add a few drops of essential oil to a cotton ball or handkerchief and inhale deeply.

Alternatively, place a few drops of the essential oil in a large bowl of boiling water. Carefully lean over the bowl and cover your head with a towel. Breathe in and breathe out deeply.

Apart from that, you can always mix the essential oil with a carrier oil and massage the blend onto the throat and chest area for relief.

And, of course, for something effortless, a few drops of the oil in a diffuser would absolutely work, too.

Now, if you’d prefer to use a specialized blend rather than individual essential oil, you might want to give our Clearing Essential Oil Blend a try. The blend has everything you need to kick colds and flu to the curb.

For instance, cubeb oil boosts the immune system and cajeput oil is a natural decongestant as well as an expectorant. With the blend, you’ll feel better in no time at all.

4.  Take A Warm Bath

A warm bath may be exactly what your body needs to recover. The steam helps to soothe the nasal passage, lubricate, and minimize congestion.

For the best experience and effect, add a few drops of the above-mentioned essential oils to your warm bath water and gently mix with your hand. Soak and enjoy the reprieve from the cold and flu.

5.  Coconut Oil Helps

Did you know that coconut oil helps with colds, too? Sure, it works best to prevent colds but it’s also great to alleviate the symptoms.

When you’re feeling congested, mix a few drops of coconut oil with either peppermint or eucalyptus essential oils to make your own vapor rub. Massage the blend onto your chest and back.

With these DIY home remedies in your arsenal, hopefully, you will feel better soon. Remember to rest up and take care!

For many of us all around the world, we’ve been in lockdown for months. And, as we stay home to curb the pandemic, why not make the best of our time?  

For the beauty aficionados, might we suggest making DIY face masks with items you already have at hand? 

Think about it: the ingredients are all ready for you, you save quite a sum, and you know exactly what you’re putting on your skin. Plus, at the end of it, you get healthy glowing skin. That’s what we call a win-win.  

If you’re ready to whip up your own face mask, read on as we share how to make DIY face masks using common kitchen items during the lockdown.  

• Turmeric and honey  

If you have acne-prone skin, you need to give this mask a try now. Turmeric is popular for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties — both of which are vital in fighting acne and breakouts. Meanwhile, honey also helps to prevent acne and breakouts. Plus, it helps to soothe the inflamed skin while nourishing and moisturising from within.  

Mix half a teaspoon of turmeric and a tablespoon of Manuka honey together in a bowl and apply it all over clean, dry skin. Leave it on for approximately 20 minutes and then rinse off with warm water.  

• Honey, yogurt, and orange juice  

This sounds like a great breakfast, but you’ll find the mixture to be great for your skin, too. The honey and orange juice will help to brighten up a dull complexion to give the skin that enviable glow. As for the yogurt, the lactic acid in it helps to get rid of dead skin cells, clear up blemishes, and prevent breakouts.  

For this mask, you’ll need to mix three tablespoons of orange juice, a quarter cup of honey, and one tablespoon of plain yogurt in a bowl. Spread a light layer all over your face and leave it on for 10-15 minutes. Then, wash off with warm water and follow up with serum and moisturiser.  

If you have orange essential oil at home, you can use it to replace the orange juice for even better results.  

• Yogurt and coconut oil  

We already know that yogurt is a potent ingredient. So, what happens when you pair it with coconut oil? Well, with coconut oil’s wealth of fatty acids, lauric acid, and vitamin E, your skin is in for a treat with this mask.  

To whip up this powerhouse face mask, combine one tablespoon of virgin coconut oil and plain yogurt in a bowl. Apply a thick layer on clean skin and leave it for about 15 minutes. Rinse off with warm water.  

• Egg white and lemon juice  

This is for all of you with oily skin. For this mask, whisk one egg white to make it stiff. Then, add six drops of lemon juice and mix again. If you have witch hazel at home, add six drops to the mixture. Spread a layer over your skin and leave it on for about 15 minutes before rinsing it off.  

Which of these DIY face masks will you try first?  

You walk into your home and you catch a waft of… something. Is it the fish you fried yesterday? Or, is that funky smell coming from your pet? Perhaps, it’s from those boxes that you just retrieved from storage?  

Either way, it’s not pleasant and the stench has to be gone from your home ASAP.  

Now, you might be tempted to reach for that can of commercial air fresheners. But, before you do, you might want to consider a DIY alternative that’s far better for yourself, your home, and, well, your planet.  

If you don’t know any alternatives, don’t fret. In this article, we’ll share with you some top DIY natural air fresheners for your home.  

1. Diffuse essential oils 

The easiest way, of course, is to add a few drops of essential oil to your diffuser and let it do its thing. Some great options that will leave your home smelling fresh include tangerine, orange, lemon, bergamot, and lavender.   

If you don’t have a diffuser, you can simply boil a pot of water. Then, remove it from the heat and add a few drops of your favorite essential oil. Leave it for a bit and the scent of the oil will work its way through your home.  

1. Deodorizing spray 

You can also easily make your own natural air freshener spray. You’ll need: 

• A spray bottle 
• 35ml of water 
• 60ml of alcohol 95% 
• A total of 5ml (or 100 drops) of essential oils.  

The vodka/alcohol will help to bind the essential oils and the water. All you need to do then is to combine all the ingredients in the spray bottle. Finally, shake well and spray.  

Plus, you can go wild with the essential oils and mix and match the scents that you like to get to 5ml/100 drops. But, some foolproof combinations include: 

• Tea tree and eucalyptus 

• Lavender and chamomile 
• A blend of citrus including grapefruit, tangerine, and lemon 
• Orange and lavender 

1. Baking soda jar 

This is as easy as it sounds and it will leave your home free of nasty odors and smelling great. You’ll need only baking soda and essential oils. The baking soda is a natural deodorizer and absorbs all the stink. Meanwhile, the essential oils offer delightful scents.  

Combine ½ cup of baking soda with 5-6 drops of essential oil in a mason jar or a glass jar. Set it down in your bathroom, closet, and just about anywhere in your home. You can even place it in your car!  

1. DIY reed diffuser 

If you don’t want to shell out for store-bought reed diffusers, you can easily make one at home. Make sure you have this on your hands: 

• 25ml of jojoba oil 
• 20ml of essential oils 
• 5ml of alcohol 

Just combine the above in a ceramic or glass vase. Give it a good shake and put in 7-8 reed diffuser sticks. When you feel like you want a stronger scent, just flip the sticks around.  

And, there you have it! These are all easy methods to create DIY natural air fresheners for your home. Now, your home will smell amazing 24/7!

In case 2020 — and 2021 — hasn’t made it crystal clear, face masks are the biggest must-have during the pandemic era. Offering vital protection, it looks like the masks are here to stay… at least for a while.

However, while the masks are necessary and play a vital role, they can get uncomfortable if worn for a prolonged period of time.

Plus, in their effort to protect us, face masks are, alas, also keeping other wonderful scents at bay. The refreshing zesty scent of lemons, the comforting embrace of lavender, and more are unfortunately masked.

Well, what if we told you that there’s a way to make wearing a mask far more bearable and even enjoyable? See, this is where a DIY mask spray can help.

And, today, we’ll be sharing some of the best ingredients to include in your spray as well as a step-by-step guide on how to DIY a mask spray.

Mask Spray Ingredients

Below, you’ll find some of the best solutions that you can add to your mask spray:

• Witch hazel

Extracted from the witch hazel plant, it helps by acting as the emulsifier — keeping the water and essential oils mixed. Plus, witch hazel also helps to disperse the essential oils.

Beyond that, witch hazel is known for its many benefits including antibacterial properties. And, it acts as a general astringent, too.

• Distilled water
• Essential oils

You can pretty much choose any essential oil that you like to add to your mask spray. Here are a few that you can try:

• Lavender – this essential oil helps to ease stress and tension, which helps to promote relaxation.
• Orange or lemon – known for their rejuvenating scents, these essential oils will keep you fresh and alert.
• Bergamot – great to reduce stress and anxiety, Bergamot essential oil is also excellent in calming your skin.
• Tea tree – popular for its healthy skin-boosting properties, tea tree will help to keep the dreaded maskne at bay.

Of course, there’s no hard and fast rule that says that you’re limited to just one type of essential oil. Instead, feel free to combine the ones that you like. Otherwise, you can also find plenty of creative combinations online. The possibilities are endless, really!

DIY Mask Spray Directions

Making a DIY mask spray is extremely easy and you can get it down pat in minutes. Here’s how:

1. Make sure you have 3 tablespoons (45ml) of witch hazel, 1 tablespoon (15ml of distilled water), and 20 drops of any essential oil.
2. Add the witch hazel, distilled water, and essential oil of choice to a spray bottle. It’s best to go with a glass spray bottle as pure essential oils tend to be very potent.
3. Mix thoroughly and your DIY mask spray is ready for use!
4. Lightly spray a few pumps on the inside and outside of your mask. Repeat whenever you feel like it or if the scent has faded. However, don’t apply while the mask is on your face.

Keep in mind that this DIY mask spray isn’t meant to be the catch-all solution that sanitizes your mask. So, you’ll still have to wash or replace your mask after use.

Armed with your favorite DIY mask spray, wearing a mask can be enjoyable and relaxing — in addition to life-saving, of course!
